How can it be legal for an employer to disclose a specific employees salary to a third party?


This has me thinking, if that is legal, what is to stop any old random person who wants to know what you make from calling your employer posing as a recruiter/hiring manager looking for current salary?


It would be odd if that were illegal. There are some well-known "radical transparency" startups that publicly post all employees' salaries.


Is there any express reason it is illegal?
